10 Best Wax Melts UK 2024 | Yankee Candle, Lily-Flame and More

The first thing that we noticed about Henwick Hall's wax melts is their eye-catching packaging. The melts are wrapped in tissue paper, encased within a beautiful presentation box, making for a gorgeous gift. 

The melts themselves are handmade using natural soy wax and fragrance oils, and even though neroli and ylang ylang can often be overpowering, Henwick Hall have managed to produce a lovely subtle scent that lingers. With over 100 hours burn time, these melts are perfect for creating a soft fragrance to refresh any bathroom, bedroom or living room!

Beeswax melts are notoriously hard to find, but we've done it! These are a top choice if you want an au-natural wax melt. Paraffin wax can often cause irritations to those with sensitivities, which is why these melts  from the Beeswax Candle Company make for an excellent alternative.

These handmade, hand-poured and beautifully crafted wax melts have been further scented with natural fragrances. So you get a choice of lavender, sweet orange or warm vanilla, all with an undercurrent of the subtle scent natural beeswax provides. 

These wax melts from Black Swan Candles are among one of the best options if you're after a strong scent. They come in a choice of five fragrances, but we especially the classic fragrance Black Opium as it smells just like a luxury perfume with undertones of vanilla, black coffee and white florals.

The wax melts are handmade and hand-poured using the best eco-friendly soy wax, and come beautifully packaged in an attractive black box with ribbon tie. It's no wonder they have such good reviews, with many customers returning for more before their box has even run out! 

In terms of value for money, Scentorini is definitely up there. This incredible deal includes 8 packs containing eight melts each! The variety of fragrances is excellent, from cosy scents like apple & cinnamon, to refreshing fragrances like mint & white jasmine. 

The melts are created using natural soy wax, which is one of the most eco-friendly options. To top it all off, the melts come beautifully packaged in a nice box to store your scented goods in. You can't ask for much more than that.

We love it when we can support small businesses, and  Bare Boutique create wax melts that are up there with the best. Their handmade wax melts are not only adorably moulded into little heart shapes, but they smell absolutely divine! 

With a choice of 8 fragrances you can take your pick, but we've opted for one of their best-loved scents - baby powder. The melts release a strong aroma that floats through the home for hours. But best of all, they are vegan, made from soy and come in plastic-free packaging.

These wax melts from Lily-Flame come packaged in a beautiful tin, making for an excellent gift. The ideal choice if you like subtle floral fragrances, we particularly recommend their blush, parma violet and bluebell scents to evoke dreamy thoughts of wandering through fields in the warm summer months.

These might initially seem more expensive than some of our other picks, but the burn time for each melt is significantly longer, which saves you money in the long run! 

We couldn't make a list of wax melts without mentioning Yankee Candle. With a wide variety of fragrances available, as both single and blends, you should definitely be able to find one that piques your interest!

We've gone for one of their best sellers on Amazon, Cinnamon. Blended with undertones of cloves, this is the perfect melt to warm up your home on a cosy evening. The melts are very affordable, and they last for up to 8 hours. The only issue is, they're made using paraffin wax, so they aren't the healthiest choice for either you or the environment.

The wax melts from Fosse Living come in 12 different scents for you to choose from, but our favourite is the classic fresh linen. Don't let these little hearts fool you, they are bursting full of fragrance to fill your entire house with a fresh, calming aroma.

Your 16 individual melts will arrive wrapped in eco-friendly plastic-free packaging. Just be aware, like the description suggests, these melts are very highly scented! So don't be tempted to pop in two at once, as the smell could be a little overwhelming and cause a headache.

Here is another selection box, this time from La Bellefée. It includes a variety of fruity and floral vegan wax melts, created with rich fragrance oils and packaged in a neat little box.

This is, however, another one that has mixed reviews. Some adore these fragrances, while other's note that the scent is simply not strong enough. So you might need to use a couple of cubes each time, depending on your preference.

This is an excellent choice if you're after variety of scents. Derduft have a total of 11 different selection boxes to choose from, all containing a mixture of fragrances to try out. At just under ten quid for four-packs, you get great value for money.

The melts themselves are made from 100% soy wax, which is excellent for you and the environment. Plus, they come beautifully packaged in a nice big box. However, there have been a few complaints that the fragrances aren't quite strong enough. So if you're after a highly-scented melt, this probably isn't the one for you.
